Chapter 461: Cheng Huang—Riding Grants 2,000 Years of Life_2
Both clans have bodies of sheep, so they sit together.
Bo Shi kept a somber face and did not respond—firstly, it was a loss of face, and secondly, he had no idea who the opponent was.
Although he had just entered the Divine Position, the opponent could easily kill him, surely not someone obscure.
Listening to the Conglong Clan Leader's inquiries, he felt relieved; at least in the Mountain and River Map, there was no image of him with a twisted neck.
However, due to his death, the sudden demise of a Divine Position allowed Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia to now appear in the scene.
If it were a battle for the North Sea True God's Divine Position, the death of hundreds of Divine Positions wouldn't matter, but this had just begun, and a strong Divine Position contender was already eliminated—still rare.
In the scene, Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia stood upon the rugged earth.
Bo Shi's face darkened, for those pits faintly showed the outline of a sheep's body. Those around who knew his Fierce Beast Body gave him strange looks.
"These two little thieves are clearly Divine Positions but pretend to be Immortal Positions, cunning." His face returned to calm, arguing calmly.
Inside the Mountain and River Map.
Li Qianxia clapped her hands, saying, "Reviving after death is what makes a good game. This way, I can really let loose."
The spectators around shivered with fear.
The crunching sound of a Divine Position's neck breaking still echoed among the mountains!
This woman had a slender and petite figure—compared to most women of the wilds—even more surprisingly vicious.
The siblings ignored the commotion and left the area, flying north.
The North Sea True God's Divine Position must be related to the North Sea and wouldn't be in the mountains, only in the sea.
The Mountain and River Map overall resembled the wildlands, where there was land, where there was sea, almost identical unless the holder deliberately altered the terrain.
Battles frequently erupted, colossal wildland powers competing amidst the mountains.
But most were heading north.
Among them were true powerhouses, as well as those merely watching. These individuals didn't even have Immortal Positions and dared to enter such a battleground solely because they wouldn't die in the Mountain and River Map.
Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia rode the wind side by side, with occasional light pillars shooting up from the ground, marking found Immortal Positions.
The pillars contained writings specifying the positions.
Finding Immortal Positions, successfully obtaining them, and then refining them amid others' sieges—each step was extremely arduous.
Li Qianxia glanced briefly and then withdrew her gaze.
"Let's go down and see," Li Changzhou suggested.
"Hmm?" Li Qianxia turned her face sideways.
Li Changzhou lowered the cloud they rode and explained, "We aren't clear about Immortal Positions and Divine Positions, let's practice with this first."
"Oh, you're right." Li Qianxia nodded, "Anyway, finding the North Sea True God's Divine Position and then seizing it will take time."
Though it was an Immortal Position, they were battling mostly Immortal-level experts. The two could crush them, but they didn't attack immediately and instead landed on a distant mountain to observe.
The wildland cultivators' strategies seemed to be divided into two camps: one was bombardment, the other focused on a point.
Those using bombardment reverted to their original forms, typically several dozen feet tall, and cast spells as vast as oceans, overwhelming mountains and rivers.
The latter resembled She Bei's prior technique, focusing the power to uproot mountains into a palm.
Li Changzhou was part of the focused camp; he had previously compressed his three-thousand-meter Divine Body to fifteen meters, following this path.
Watching for a while, he realized the bombardment style prevailed in the wildlands not just because the environment was large and could be freely wielded.
Focusing a point offered strong penetration, but... in the face of bodies hundreds to thousands of meters large, what's the use of penetrating a single spot?
Against Fierce Beasts tens of thousands of meters, even larger, focusing a point was powerless.
For instance, with the Kunpeng, larger than the sky, not to mention human-sized, even hundred-meter objects meant nothing—an attempt to pierce its heart would be insignificant—if one could indeed pierce the Kunpeng's heart.
But the advantage of focusing a point was undeniable.
Caught off guard, She Bei could win a move in strength against Li Changzhou; Li Changzhou, when a human Immortal, relied on compressing the Divine Body and infinite Mana to briefly spar with the Guanyin possessing only fifty percent Mana.
The battle for Immortal Positions reached its end.
A fox with horns on its head shot out like lightning from the mountains, grabbing the Immortal Position, soaring into the sky.
"Cheng Huang!" The robbed party was furious.
He was strong; upon obtaining the Immortal Position, he hadn't lost possession, fought valiantly, battled the crowd alone, had scared off those attempting to seize the Immortal Position until someone from the Chenghuang Clan stole the fruit.
"It turned out to be the Chenghuang Clan!" someone exclaimed among the spectators.
"This Immortal Position should belong to him!"
In "Scripture of Mountains and Seas • Sea Section," it is written: "Cheng Huang resembles a fox, has horns on its back, riding it grants two thousand years of longevity."
"The true meaning of 'Ride for two thousand years' is that sealing Cheng Huang within oneself allows one to gain a lifespan of two thousand years, which is considered long-lived among the Immortals' fierce beasts."
Besides this, Cheng Huang is renowned for its speed - extremely fast.
"You're courting death!" The man in the field did not give up.
"Roar!!"
He roared angrily to the sky, the roar gradually transforming into the exalted cry of a bird, his entire being bursting with six-colored light.
"Oh no! He's going to reveal his fierce beast body too, run quickly!"
The spectators around Li Changzhou retreated.
Most of them had not even reached the Immortal Position, and being able to watch for so long was entirely because previous Immortal Position powerhouses either didn't reveal their fierce beast bodies or hadn't had time to display them before being killed instantly.
The six-colored light swelled larger and larger until even the clouds in the sky turned six-colored, and even the wind seemed to have been stained by color.
Boom!
With a burst of light, a giant bird five hundred meters long appeared in the sky.
"A Six-headed Bird!"
"It's the disciple of the Enlightened God!"
That giant bird had six heads, each one a viper, an ape, a dragon, a racoon, a leopard, and a woodpecker.
From a modern perspective, the six heads of entirely different races on one bird body seemed terrifyingly fierce to the utmost.
"Roar!"
All six heads roared in unison, spewing radiant light, plowing through mountains!
Amid the light, the earth cracked open, giant trees and boulders melted, turning into powder.
Suddenly, a yellow light shot up - it was Cheng Huang, moving with incredible speed, looking from afar like lightning from the sky.
"Are you crazy!" Cheng Huang's voice was a feminine one, "Immortal positions are everywhere on the ground, why fight so desperately!"
This earth-shattering technique was a huge consumption even for Immortal Position masters.
After forcing out Cheng Huang, the Six-headed Bird stopped spewing six-colored Immortal Light, the eyes of the woodpecker head brightened, and the giant trees on the mountain grew wildly like vines, entangling Cheng Huang.
Cheng Huang slashed through the trees like a sharp sword, moving so fast that even at the trees' growth speed, they couldn't catch up.
"Hiss——" the viper head hissed.
"Ah!!" Some contestants who had retreated far away instantly died from the hissing sound.
Even Cheng Huang's fox beast body trembled involuntarily, with fur standing on end being pressed against the wind.
The giant trees pursued immediately, while simultaneously, the dragon head sneezed, crackling as a hundred-meter thick lightning bolt shot out.
Who would've thought Cheng Huang would suddenly turn, with the horns on its head shining, she actually stepped onto the lightning!
Crash!
As the lightning was ridden by her, a streak of light flashed, and she had already dashed a great distance away.
Though the Six-headed Bird had wings, it wasn't proficient at flying, staring helplessly as the hard-earned Immortal Position was about to be lost again, it went berserk once more.
Bang!
The six-colored Immortal Light appeared, the light pillar dispersing darkness as if flattening the earth.
Cheng Huang, riding on lightning, ran right towards the crowd.
"Oh no! Run quickly!"
But who could outrun Cheng Huang moving on lightning?
Everyone could only join forces to block the six-colored Immortal Light.
Cheng Huang ran towards the horizon, feeling extremely pleased, and turned her head to look at the furious Six-headed Bird.
"Oh my gosh!" She fell off the lightning in shock.
There was a person sitting on her back!
Since when?
Who?
Faster than her riding lightning!
Sitting on Cheng Huang's back, Li Qianxia held onto Cheng Huang's two horns, smiling apologetically.
She said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but these two horns of yours really look like a horse's reins, as if naturally meant to be held. I couldn't resist, haha."
Who can be faster than a Kunpeng?
